'AMERICA HAS ALWAYS BEEN AT WAR WITH GERMANY...'

History and those who died so we could be here today are often forgotton, sadly.

war sucks

my grandfather arrived in europe that day, was shot and captured in sept and liberated in april of 45. He was a machine gunner in under Patton. He was 180lb when he was shot and was down to 80lbs when he was liberated from stalag 17.


NEVER FORGET :thumbsup

well, its a good thing they dont know about it.... since.. there dead...

My father was on a U.S. Coast Guard Destroyer Escort off Normandy Beach. They were close enough to shore that they were within range of German field artillery on shore, and had a number of near-misses from shells from the Cruisers and Battleships further from shore that fell short. Of all the experiences he had during the war, I only heard him talk about that day once. Apparently they were close enough for some of the carnage from the landings to wash back by them.
